Crush the King by Jennifer Estep
Queen Evie has been playing the long game with the King’s sister, a sister who he doesn’t acknowledge and isn’t even really considered a royal because she is a bastard. The conclusion to this long game, is one I saw as a possibility and I think Evie even mentions it a few times in the books, but the way it played out was, mwah, fantisimo!
Magical Readathon TBR
This will be my first time participating in the O.W.Ls in April, part of the Magical Readathon created by G from the YouTube channel Book Roast. You can see her announcement video which also contains all the links needed to participate in this month long readathon.
Bookie Trials Royal Weekend
Hour 9 Getting a late start to the day. It is storming and raining hard this morning. So it’s dreariness on top of dreariness, and the bed was just so comfy and warm…I stayed wrapped in it’s comfort and fell back asleep. I’m currently sitting at my kitchen table, having some breakfast and updating here.…
Abhorsen by Garth Nix
After a while, this book totally had my attention. After listening to Lirael, I had to wonder if she would accept she was the Abhorsen. This curiosity kept me reading, but additionally wondering if the attack would be stopped.
Sunday Post #69: Week of Procrastinating
I am sitting here, on a Saturday night, being unproductive, so I’m making myself write this post. I’ve just been watching YouTube videos for the last probably 3 hours. Not reading, not writing the reviews I’m behind on, not editing my Bout of Books vlog – yes I recorded myself, but I’ve done this several times and never edited and put together the video, which is why I haven’t been posting on YouTube. This is more or less how this week has gone.
Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan
This is the first book of Riyria Revelations and contains two stories to this great series. I loved the action, the writing, the character development, everything about this book is glorious. I totally see myself re-reading this in the future; multiple times.
Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep
I very much enjoyed this story. I was just swept away by what was happening to Evie and those around her, while also at key times was very much worried for her. Even though she’s the main character and we know she will survive, the fact of her survival being very likely completely left my mind.

2019 Favorite Books
This list is not all inclusive, but a few of the books I really enjoyed and wanted to mention again. There is one series on here I’m wondering if maybe I did hear about and just wasn’t ready for it at the time, or maybe I was living in a hole or something at the time of it’s hype. Keep reading to see what series I’m talking about.
